From Rhino Records come the marvelous soundtracks to two televised adaptations of Dr. Seuss's modern classics The Grinch That Stole Christmas! and Horton Hears a Who! Originally recorded in 1966, The Grinch is the barometer by which all television Christmas specials are measured. In the hands of lyricist Seuss and composers Albert Hague and Eugene Poddany, the soundtrack mixes traditional Yuletide sounds with square-dancing music and sophisticated sound effects. Boris Karloff shines as the storyteller and the voice of the Grinch, a gloriously Seussified Scrooge. And Thurl Ravenscroft, also known as the voice of Tony the Tiger, sings "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" with glee. The second and lesser known of the two tales chronicles the interactions of a big-eared elephant, Horton, and the misunderstood, somewhat-mad professor Dr. Hoovey. Narrated in the familiar and engaging meter of Seuss's finest rhyming prose, these lively tales will secure an entirely new audience with their fine scores. --Paige La Grone

Jim Carrey stars in the Ron Howard adaptation of Dr. Seuss's enduring tale of the evil Grinch in Whoville and the Christmas he looks to sabotage. Carrey also lends his quick mouth to "Grinch 2000," a rap duet with Busta Rhymes, and to "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," which he goes alone in a voice somewhere between Buster Poindexter, Don Rickles, and Pavarotti on acid and amphetamines. The mistletoe has its place above country-pop star Faith Hill, who delivers the album's first single, "Where Are You, Christmas?"
Other high-profile names here include those Canadian jokesters BareNaked Ladies, ska-punks Smash Mouth, and that omnipresent boyband 'N Sync. Lesser names like the Eels, the modest pop experiment of a man called "E", and the orchestral grandeur of the Trans-Siberian Orchestra contribute solid festive tunes. A few dialogue bits are scattered throughout, and James Horner's movie score finishes things off.--Rob O'Connor

How the Grinch stole my heart.......2007-04-11
A fantastic compilation of songs and memorable moments from the movie that will make you laugh!
GREAT CD.......2007-01-23
Loved the cd look forward to listening to it every holiday season!!! Fast shipping and great communication Thanks a bunch!!!!
Great CD.......2007-01-15
This was purchased for my mother but I got to listen to it as well. Nice Holiday CD with plenty of great musicians to choose from.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas Soundtrack (2000 film).......2007-01-09
This is my favorite Christmas cd. I ordered it for Faith Hill's song but ended up liking all of it. I ended up playing this more then any other Christmas cd.
One of the Best Movie Soundtracks For All Age Groups.......2006-07-13
Frankly I have always been a fan of the movie. I own the movie as well as the soundtrack; they have been the best additions to my collection. Some advide on purchasing, if you have never watched the Grinch or have watched the movie but did not listen to the music while the movie was playing then it is most likely you will not like this soundtrack. You have to watch the movie and love it to love the soundtrack.
I can honestly say that I am fan of all sorts of music and I can appreciate pretty much anything when it is good quality. The Soundtrack has songs sung by artists like Smashmouth, the Eels, Faith Hill, etc. What was most amazing to me was not only the fact that I wanted most of those songs, but the fact that all the songs and music I heard on the movie were actually on the soundtrack, a total of 23-24 items. The CD is separated into two parts, the music I described above and then the music sung by the Who's, which is pretty much the musical score. In between all of the great songs in the CD there are pieces of the movie where the Grinch recites lines from the movie.
This movie soundtrack was very well worth what I paid for it. Please make sure you did enjoy at least the movie if you are thinking of buying the soundtrack, as the soundtrack is not for everyone's ears. Now, if you are into Christmas music and you liked the Home Alone 2 Soundtrack then I think you would like this. Good luck with your purchase!

SUPER FAST SHIPPING GREAT PRICE GREAT VALUE I WOULD BUY FROM THIS SELLER AGAIN.
Didn't love it, but didn't hate it either.......2004-12-14
Let me start off by saying that I love the Grinch - it's simply not Christmas without him. But this soundtrack of the classic TV special is not what I had expected it to be. All the dialogue and songs are here exactly as heard on the TV program, but really if we wanted to hear the exact TV special, we could just as well pop in the tape or the DVD. Boris Karloff's dialog and Grinch are divine - no gripes here. When you're listening to the songs as interspersed throught the dialog as originally intended that's OK too. I like the idea of reprising the songs complete with no dialoge, except during "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" there are some large gaps in the song where dialogue exists. The songs in tracks 11-14 could stand better editing for better continutity.
What blows my mind though is that Turner (which now controls the film) has stooped so low as to package this delightful soundtrack in such moronic packaging as this. How cheap! I can honestly say that this is the poorest excuse for a CD case I have ever seen in a Turner/Warner product. The Grinch deserves better than this.
The Jim Carey movie notwithstanding, there are 2 soundtrack versions of the 1966 TV special: this one from Turner and the other version with the white cover from (I think) MCA. The other version is not taken directly from the soundtrack as this one IS, but is more of a studio recording. While you can't surpass the performances as seen on TV, I do prefer the MCA version of the album. The performances by Boris Karloff (on both albums) are essentially identical, and the Grinch's lines on the MCA disc are taken directly from the soundtrack. Thurl Ravenscroft's singing of "You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch" is only slightly different between the two albums, but on the MCA disc is done with better continuity (and more clarity) and that is the rendition of the song you usually hear on the radio at Christmas time. I especially love the addition of the word "deplorable" in "You're A Mean One" on MCA's album, as follows: "Your soul is an appalling dungheap, overflowing with the most disgraceful assortment of deplorable rubbish imaginable....."
4 Kids Only (But Some Great Music for DieHard Horner fans).......2002-11-09
I happened to come across a free "Starz" movie weekend and caught this movie. Normally I wouldn't dream of watching this movie and am not a Seuss fan.
However, this movie was so surprisingly funny and good, I watched it twice and I'm pushing 60! I absolutely LOVE Horner's music and wasn't aware he scored this one.
But, I was disappointed when I found there was so much narration from Carrey and Anthony Hopkins and mostly kid songs (it IS a kid's movie, though.) I found cuts 15,21,22 the best. Great Horner instrumentals, soaring and inspiring. Warning: Cut 15 is magnificent to 1:06, then come the farting sounds (it IS a kid's movie, though.) I would recommend it for these 3 cuts if you're a die-hard Horner fan. I would give these 3 cuts 5 stars, but only 4 for the entire CD because the majority of cuts are for VERY young juveniles.
The Grinch is back.......2001-12-06
You cannot not love this tale and after witnessing the horror that was the movie you can't help but, return to this tried and true release. This is a great way to fill a stocking, if you are the kind that puts a twelve dollar stuffer in that is, or to add to your holiday music collection. So, for those who grew up with this tailing and for those of us who have a more Solstice view of the season this is a wonderful release to own.
How The World Knows Christmas Is Joyful And Essential.......2001-10-30
WOW!!! This has got to be one of the most touching Christmas stories in history! This may not be the video, but this is still a great copy. The only thing is, Horton could've been axed to allow some alternate copies of the songs on here. Horton doesn't have much of Christmas at all, but is still a classic Seuss story.
As you know, the Grinch starts off desperate to get Christmas out of his life (and you can't do that! Ha Ha!!) with a smaalll heart. So he goes to Whoville with his dog and sleigh at night, breaking into every house, and taking everything out. Then he crests back to the top of the mountain (Mt. Crumpet, of course) to dump everything. He stops near the top to listen, and... his feelings for Christmas change all of a sudden with the aid of the Whos singing joyfully. His heart grows three sizes, his cup runneth over! He decends back to town and takes back everything he has ever done! He even carves the roast beast.
Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray that You would touch everyone who indulges loneliness, who is lost in this world, and those who despise the Christmas season. Give them Christ, grow their hearts to to overflowing, and make them joyful! Reveal Christmas to them in Your spirit as a time to rejoice to the Lord, and to grow in their faith more and more, and to repent of their sins. Give them the power to move the mountains in their lives. Make everyone in Your whole entire world celebrate this joyful holiday with smiles on their faces. In Jesus' precious name. Amen.
No Christmas would be complete without this: book, video, CD, who cares??? (And the 2000 version looks interesting, too.)

The Grinch is the Darth Vader of our sugarplum visions. With Boris Karloff reading the beloved fable, generations of kids have been enthralled to hear the tale of how the Grinch almost ripped off the odd folks of Whoville by taking their presents and plundering their decorative booty with help from his hapless dog. And yet he can't dash Whoville's spirit. With songs from the show, including that timeless ode to nastiness "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," this colorful compact version of the story belongs in every seasonal collection. --Martin Keller
Customer Reviews:
Totally different from the TV soundtrack!.......2006-12-27
Here it is FORTY years after its premiere---and the "Grinch" soundtrack stands as one of the last of a great musical tradition that extends all the way from the 30's: completely scored in a colorful, very "legit" technical manner, based on a thorough grounding in classic song-writing and background scoring/orchestration. And this cd presents it all in bright, clean and detailed sound.
What is puzzling and fascinating is this: considering that the production of "How the Grinch..." in 1966 was apparently not an especially lavish one, how is it that the soundtrack exists in TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERSIONS, each with its own similar but different background music, and each with DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT arrangements of the three songs??
It's too bad that all of the major musical figures---Albert Hague (composer), Eugene Poddany (the guy who did the intense work of scoring the whole thing TWICE) and Thurl Ravenscroft (singer of "You're a Mean One..")---have all passed on; as institutional memory goes, we may never know why the work was scored and recorded one way for the film and another completely different way for the MGM soundtrack album. I can see some cutting and patching together of the film soundtrack and an EXPANSION of the songs for the LP---that would be logical---but an ENTIRELY new score?
I know I sound like a broken (LP) record, but I will continue to wonder about this. In any case, the 21-minute version of the soundtrack contained on this cd is great. And I must say that Boris KArloff's narration is absolutely BRILLIANT; it's so easy to take it for granted, since we all know it practically by heart. But take the time to really listen to Karloff's reading---the subtlety, the nuance, the pacing---the amazing RANGE of sound and vocal color--and the sensitivity of "the Grinch's small heart grew 3 sizes that day"......GREAT stuff!
And to think, Karloff could pull off this tour de force barely a year or so before his own death. (You will notice a frequent change in the audio
quality of the narration--sometimes with much low rumble and surface noise; sounds like it was assembled from a variety of audio sources).
The cd also contains the songs themselves WITHOUT narration as additional tracks---so you can really enjoy the tunes and lyrics of Hague and Suess AND the fabulous work of Mr. Poddany.
Yes, the CHORAL work is quite different from the TV version too. The women's voices are really pretty raw in this soundtrack version (Thurl says they only used 4 women total in the session), but at least you don't have to put up with that raucous, out-of-tune kiddie chorus which was looped over the adult voices in the TV soundtrack.
All-in-all a delight, and a great tribute to the talent of the people who created and performed it.
Christmas Day is in our grasp, as long as we have hands to clasp!.......2006-12-12
This is the album version of the classic television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It is not exactly the same as the TV show. Boris Karloff's narration is still here, but the background music is different. None of the sound effects from the cartoon are included. Boris Karloff speaks Cindy Lou Who's dialogue himself, while on television those lines were done by June Foray. And the songs seems to be slightly different than they were on televison. These changes were no doubt made for the betterment of the album, since listening to an album is a different experience than watching TV. This is a wonderful listening experience. It chokes me up every time when the Grich learns the true meaning of Christmas and turns good (hope I didn't spoil the ending for you). The CD also includes the four songs from the show separate from the main story, although of course they are also within the story itself.
One's never too young or too old for the fun & meaning here........2002-11-27
The Grinch has successfully displaced Ebeneezer Scrooge as the spirit of anti-Christmas for today's audience. And there are similarities. Just as Tiny Tim was a strong factor in Ebeneezer's redemption, the children are a strong factor in the Grinch's redemption.
It's a pleasure to be able to hear the great Boris Karloff narration, along with the songs, and then afterwards to again hear the songs reprised.
Of course, this is a short CD, just barely 30 minutes in length. One must realize that while the program was supposed to be a half hour long, nearly a third of the time was used for toy advertisements. The irony of it all, a beautiful story telling us that the joy of Christmas is in the spirit of Christmas, not in the getting toys is aired for the purpose of selling overpriced and non-imaginative toys.
Anyway, this is definitely a 5 star CD.
Dr. Suess TV Classic Is Great But...........2001-01-13
This album truly fits the bill. It does cover all the songs and full narration of Boris Karloff but be warned... it's not an exact soundtrack from the TV show. When Cindy-Lu Who speaks in this version, it's actually Boris himself which is quite a surprise. Charming nonetheless. A true classic.
For the Child (..and the Grinch) in All of Us.......2000-10-24
We all can be a Grinch sometimes, but during Christmas I love to be a kid (..and pretty much all year round). If you grew up watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" during the season then you will love this CD since it features not only the original songs but also the original narration by Boris Karloff. The movie is a timeless Dr Seuss Classic and now you can have the music to sing along with during the holidays.

How The Grinch Stole Christmas.........2007-01-12
I grew up listening to these on a record as a child and to find them sounding even better on CD was amazing! I even bought one for another family member who charishes tem as much as I do.
Not very good.......2007-01-09
This is not a good CD. The songs are sung by a group of children. It sounds as if the children made no effort and are not happy to sing the songs at all. Each song sounds like the last song. My children did not like this at all.
Greatest Christmas CD EVER!!!!!.......2005-12-04
This is a great CD. I foud the original Vinyl Record at a Library Book Sale. (The original recod was called "Songs From 'How The Grinch Stole Christmas' And Other Children's Christmas Songs" on the RCA Special Productions label.) It had Christmas Songs on it that I never heard of Before. I got it. I loved "Rags" from the first minute I heard it. it is about a poor boy selling Christmas trees and what Christmas is REALLY about. The Marty Gold Children's Chorus, who sing All the Songs, are really good singers. even the Grinch songs are the next best thing to the original if you want to hear slightly diffrent versions of the songs I thought it would be one of those great Children's Records that would be lost and forgotten in the archives, that I would never see again. I am glad that it was brought back on CD in Great quality for todays Children!!!! Buy it!!!!!!

How the Grinch Stole Christmas.......2000-12-26
I bought this CD for our very active - short attention span- 3 year old grandson. Well, it was the hit of his Christmas! While at our house he wanted it played over and over. While at his materal grandparents he was very upset that their computer would not run the graphics. On the way back to his home ( 2 states away) he wanted the cassette tape played over and over. He finally fell asleep. Do you know how his parents loved that. Upon arrival home, he ran to his Dad's computer and asked to view the CD. Believe me, if this CD and cassette entertain our grandson it will entertain anyone's son or grandson of this age!! I give this CD the highest rating and it does not cost a fortune to buy.

The Grinch is the Darth Vader of our sugarplum visions. With Boris Karloff reading the beloved fable, generations of kids have been enthralled to hear the tale of how the Grinch almost ripped off the odd folks of Whoville by taking their presents and plundering their decorative booty with help from his hapless dog. And yet he can't dash Whoville's spirit. With songs from the show, including that timeless ode to nastiness "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," this colorful compact version of the story belongs in every seasonal collection. --Martin Keller

Totally different from the TV soundtrack!.......2006-12-27
Here it is FORTY years after its premiere---and the "Grinch" soundtrack stands as one of the last of a great musical tradition that extends all the way from the 30's: completely scored in a colorful, very "legit" technical manner, based on a thorough grounding in classic song-writing and background scoring/orchestration. And this cd presents it all in bright, clean and detailed sound.
What is puzzling and fascinating is this: considering that the production of "How the Grinch..." in 1966 was apparently not an especially lavish one, how is it that the soundtrack exists in TWO COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VERSIONS, each with its own similar but different background music, and each with DISTINCTLY DIFFERENT arrangements of the three songs??
It's too bad that all of the major musical figures---Albert Hague (composer), Eugene Poddany (the guy who did the intense work of scoring the whole thing TWICE) and Thurl Ravenscroft (singer of "You're a Mean One..")---have all passed on; as institutional memory goes, we may never know why the work was scored and recorded one way for the film and another completely different way for the MGM soundtrack album. I can see some cutting and patching together of the film soundtrack and an EXPANSION of the songs for the LP---that would be logical---but an ENTIRELY new score?
I know I sound like a broken (LP) record, but I will continue to wonder about this. In any case, the 21-minute version of the soundtrack contained on this cd is great. And I must say that Boris KArloff's narration is absolutely BRILLIANT; it's so easy to take it for granted, since we all know it practically by heart. But take the time to really listen to Karloff's reading---the subtlety, the nuance, the pacing---the amazing RANGE of sound and vocal color--and the sensitivity of "the Grinch's small heart grew 3 sizes that day"......GREAT stuff!
And to think, Karloff could pull off this tour de force barely a year or so before his own death. (You will notice a frequent change in the audio
quality of the narration--sometimes with much low rumble and surface noise; sounds like it was assembled from a variety of audio sources).
The cd also contains the songs themselves WITHOUT narration as additional tracks---so you can really enjoy the tunes and lyrics of Hague and Suess AND the fabulous work of Mr. Poddany.
Yes, the CHORAL work is quite different from the TV version too. The women's voices are really pretty raw in this soundtrack version (Thurl says they only used 4 women total in the session), but at least you don't have to put up with that raucous, out-of-tune kiddie chorus which was looped over the adult voices in the TV soundtrack.
All-in-all a delight, and a great tribute to the talent of the people who created and performed it.
Christmas Day is in our grasp, as long as we have hands to clasp!.......2006-12-12
This is the album version of the classic television special How the Grinch Stole Christmas. It is not exactly the same as the TV show. Boris Karloff's narration is still here, but the background music is different. None of the sound effects from the cartoon are included. Boris Karloff speaks Cindy Lou Who's dialogue himself, while on television those lines were done by June Foray. And the songs seems to be slightly different than they were on televison. These changes were no doubt made for the betterment of the album, since listening to an album is a different experience than watching TV. This is a wonderful listening experience. It chokes me up every time when the Grich learns the true meaning of Christmas and turns good (hope I didn't spoil the ending for you). The CD also includes the four songs from the show separate from the main story, although of course they are also within the story itself.
One's never too young or too old for the fun & meaning here........2002-11-27
The Grinch has successfully displaced Ebeneezer Scrooge as the spirit of anti-Christmas for today's audience. And there are similarities. Just as Tiny Tim was a strong factor in Ebeneezer's redemption, the children are a strong factor in the Grinch's redemption.
It's a pleasure to be able to hear the great Boris Karloff narration, along with the songs, and then afterwards to again hear the songs reprised.
Of course, this is a short CD, just barely 30 minutes in length. One must realize that while the program was supposed to be a half hour long, nearly a third of the time was used for toy advertisements. The irony of it all, a beautiful story telling us that the joy of Christmas is in the spirit of Christmas, not in the getting toys is aired for the purpose of selling overpriced and non-imaginative toys.
Anyway, this is definitely a 5 star CD.
Dr. Suess TV Classic Is Great But...........2001-01-13
This album truly fits the bill. It does cover all the songs and full narration of Boris Karloff but be warned... it's not an exact soundtrack from the TV show. When Cindy-Lu Who speaks in this version, it's actually Boris himself which is quite a surprise. Charming nonetheless. A true classic.
For the Child (..and the Grinch) in All of Us.......2000-10-24
We all can be a Grinch sometimes, but during Christmas I love to be a kid (..and pretty much all year round). If you grew up watching "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" during the season then you will love this CD since it features not only the original songs but also the original narration by Boris Karloff. The movie is a timeless Dr Seuss Classic and now you can have the music to sing along with during the holidays.
